Bernhard Mistlberger (born 1987) is an Austrian
theoretical particle physicist known for his significant work in the area of
quantum field theory. He is known for multi-loop calculations in
quantum chromodynamics (QCD), including the first high-precision theoretical predictions of
Higgs and vector boson production at the
Large Hadron Collider.
Career
Since 2020, Mistlberger has been a
faculty member in the
SLAC Theory Group
The SLAC Theory Group is the hub of theoretical particle physics research at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory at Stanford University. It is a subdivision of the Elementary Particle Physics (EPP) Division at SLAC.

In 2022, he won the
American Physical Society's Henry Primakoff Award for Early-Career Particle Physics, for "''groundbreaking contributions to high-precision quantum field theory, including the next-to-next-to-next-to-leading order QCD corrections to the production of Higgs and electroweak vector bosons at hadron colliders.''" In the same year, he also won the Guido Altarelli Award for "advancing the frontier of perturbative calculations in QCD to N3LO".
